Default Cheap LED turn signals, pleasantly surprised.

Hey Everyone,

We just picked up our RX on July 4th. I decided to try out some LED turn signals to get rid of the amber in the headlamp. The LED's were a pleasant surprise as they appear much brighter and are the right hue of amber when lit.

Here's a small clip.

These bulbs worked well in my 2010 RX and they don't have the yellow reflection you get from the LED emitter:

Before
After - note how the DRLs still have the ugly yellow LEDs in the reflection

Thanks for the suggestion, but I feel the instant on/off and brightness of LED's offset the slight amber hue in the headlamps. They're certainly a lot less amber than compared to the OEM bulbs.
